PHOTO GALLERY: Designers turn plastic trash into treasures.
In this picture taken on Friday, April 12, 2019, German designer Alexander Schul poses with his creation, 'Sobstantial Chair', made from sheets of recycled plastic, high impact polystyrene, and used yoghurt containers, at the Rossana Orlandi gallery in Milan, Italy. Schul won the 'Design' category of the "Plasic Prize" design competition organized by the Rossana Orlandi gallery. Scientists and environmental activists have been long raised the alarm on plastic pollution.
One Milan art expert has launched an initiative dubbed Guiltless Plastic on the sidelines of Milan’s premier Furniture Fair design showcase, commissioning one-of-a-kind pieces made by top designers from discarded plastic and hoping to inspire a wider movement. The goal is to bring attention to the potential to transform and repurpose recycled plastic, some reclaimed directly from the sea.
